The Big Day! 5x2.5x2.5

[dr evil]

Well the tank guys came to fix piping yesterday. but cannot finish cos need to complete some laminating on the cabinet before all piping can go in.

I also need to get a skimmer soon. Anybody got any lobang or know of anyone selling off their skimmer? (beckett or needlewheel for a 1000lt+)

what about a brand new deltec? let me know if u are interested....definately the cheapest price around....

cheers

bigger the size, no problem in controlling ur neutrients...can feed like crazy also no problem.

that is why i opt for a BK300 ext for my 6footer

Have decided and intalled the skimmr. Using 32 inch Beckett with a quiet one 4000 high head pump.

Here's a phto of the skimmer placement, pump is out of sump to reduce heat

Hi bro. better be careful with that quiet one pump. its quite prone to breaking now. I have one in my store room. Used for 1 month and it is super duper loud.

I have read similiar reviews of this pump on the net too. Or maybe I am the few unlucky ones.

I like the innovativeness of cutting the cabinet floor board to allow the skimmer to sink in... brilliant

[zebrasoma]

[jervismun]

Oh dear... well... it's unfortunate... but sometimes happen at the initial stage

[the oracle]

Poor thing all fishes die! Are you sure? All at the same time?

[Tanggy]

Hi Bros... sorry for MIA.. ke ke.. bz with wedding plans... havnt been online for a while.

[southpaw23]

How's the tank? Got updated pics to share?

[Tanggy]

The tank is still cycling 2weeks after a diaster. I had transfered 5 old fishes from my old tank and they doing well. A powder brown tang was added cos my wife liked the fish.

It develop white spot which I had anticipated but I didnt exspect the white spots to be that bad. Maybe the effect was worst in a new tank.

[Tanggy]

I have a naso about 6 inches that got it and died after fighting it for 2weeks. It died within the rocks. The Blue Tang(5 inch and very harddy and 4 yrs old) also got it and died soon after also within the rocks.

As the dead fishes was not within reached, I was not able to get the bodies out and decided to left nature do its work. But it was a mistake probably because the tank is so new. I think the bio load from these 2 big fish overload the system and the tank had a crash. sob sob... my first in 5yrs of reefing... the remaining

[Tanggy]

The water turned a little milky and I did a partial water change the next day but the remainding few fishes went over the next few days. My poor fish... Xin tong... they were from my old tank and a few years old.

Casualty due ti disea followed by crash

Naso Tang - 6inch

Regal /Blue Tang - 5inch

Yellow Tang - 4 Inch

Sailfin Tang - 4 Inch

Mated Gold Maroon pair - 2.5 & 1.5 inch

Power Brown Tang 3 inch - the trigger of this disaster.

[chercm]

poor thing .....

[Power]

Sorry to hear that.... Are you going to add one of those addictive/bacteria that speed up the recycling of tank? Might help to build up the bacteria faster since the water is very nutritious now...

[dr evil]

Hi bro,

Im supprise that your skimmer could not cope and crash your tank. Well, it had happen to me twice and that is the normal case for new tank.
